Chapter 132 The Last Project
"arrive!"
Yi Yi stopped in front of a huge space.
This is already a very deep underground area.
From the underground floor to here, Su Xia and Yi Yi took the elevator four times in total, and the elevator ride time was longer each time.
The underground floors of this Midnight Tavern are like an ant's nest. Who knows what secrets are hidden there.
"This is where our tavern branch stores confidential documents. Due to the special nature of the mechanical race, all important documents must be stored in paper form, so the space is relatively large."
"Hmm...it's bigger..."
Su Xia didn't know what to say, so she could only agree.
Looking around, there is no end to this space. Countless shelves for storing documents are neatly arranged, like soldiers standing guard.
The height from the ground to the top is at least ten meters, and a huge .
The light bulbs lit up one by one, like twinkling stars, illuminating the entire underground world.
Yi Yi was about to look for information when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Just to confirm, are you the masked man Li Defu?"
Su Xia laughed and said, "You brought me down here without even confirming my true identity?"
"It doesn't matter if it's not." Yi Yi was very calm, "Just find someone to erase your memory."
"That's a good idea."
"It seems that you are. That's easy."
Yi Yi didn't ask too many questions and started to act.
He led Su Xia through the shelves one by one, as if walking in a maze, and said as he walked: "If I'm not mistaken, your true strength is level 4?"
"Um."
"No wonder you were able to escape from Yu Tuo twice in a row."
“When I first escaped, there was no Level 4 yet.”
"Huh? Incredible!" Yi Yi was surprised. "Yu Tuo is a very cautious person. Although he only has a 4.0 level of psychic power on the surface, his real level is at least 4.4. I have met him several times."
It is truly remarkable that he could escape despite such a huge disparity in power.
That night, the main battlefield was Coral City, Yu Tuo's territory.
Yi Yi said tactfully: "My junior fellow apprentice Xue Lie has just become a level 4 creature. He thought you only had level 3.3 psychic power, so he accepted your mission. If you meet him in the wilderness, please show mercy."
"I'll try my best."
"Thank you very much."
Having said that, Yi Yi stopped.
On the second shelf next to him, there were rows of gray folders, and the word "Top Secret" was written on the seal of each folder.
This level of confidentiality is the highest within the tavern.
Yi Yi picked up one of them, suddenly changed his tone to a serious one, and opened the recorder in his chest pocket, saying, "Masked Stranger, due to your previous combat performance, the headquarters has re-evaluated you. Now you are not only a senior member of the tavern, but also an important customer of the tavern. You have a high priority within the tavern."
"So... can I see these materials?"
"No, we follow the principle of exchange here in the tavern."
In the tavern, the most common exchange is to exchange money for life.
Hitmen not only kill people, but occasionally they protect people for money.
It often happens that when a group of tavern killers go to hunt down their targets, they encounter another group of tavern killers who are protecting their targets.
"Based on your previous performance, the tavern believes that you have a lot of top-secret information." Yi Yi said truthfully, "So I made an exception and brought you down. I have the Coral City Mechanical Clan experimental data you want. You need to provide some information that I think is also valuable."
This is indeed an exception, as taverns generally do not sell intelligence information.
Most of the information is obtained through communication among members themselves.
Su Xia asked: "What kind of information is considered valuable?"
Yi Yi: "You can tell me and I will give you a judgement."
"What if you are in vain?"
"I am not that kind of person, and the pub is not that kind of organization."
Yi Yi made a solemn promise with a serious look on his face.
An organization as large as the Zero Point Tavern still cares a lot about its reputation.
A level 4 creature like Su Xia is considered a top-notch expert in the entire continent, and the tavern would not deliberately deceive his information.
He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I know there are a lot of bugs imprisoned underground in Coral City. Does this count as valuable?"
“Not really.”
Yi Yi shook his head and answered decisively, saying: "This information is also recorded in the data in my hand."
"I also know that besides Yu Tuo, there is another very powerful robot in Coral City."
Su Xia thought of the elegant robot holding a cane in the picture.
The fact that that guy can communicate normally with Yu Tuo means that his status and strength are no less than Yu Tuo's.
But Yi Yi said: "We also know this news. The robot is called 'Merser' and is a direct subordinate of the Mechanical Overlord Eifel. It is very likely to be a Level 5 creature."
"Level 5?"
Su Xia pondered for a moment and felt that the trouble was a bit serious.
He thought he could hang around in Coral City for a while. Although he couldn't beat Yu Tuo, he wouldn't be in too bad a state either.
But what if that guy named Mercer takes action...
That scene is a bit scary just thinking about it.
"Are you worried that the Zerg experiment underground in the Mechanical Clan will get out of control?" Yi Yi seemed to see Su Xia's thoughts. "In fact, we are worried too. This is one of the reasons why I made an exception and brought you down. We really need all the information you know."
Hearing this, Su Xia felt a little surprised and asked, "Isn't the tavern going to remain neutral?"
“Unless something major happens, the tavern can remain neutral.”
Yi Yi answered like this.
"But the experiments of the Mechanical Clan are too crazy and have already embarked on an unknown path. Once out of control, the entire Coral City, including the area surrounding Coral City, may become a dead zone. So... the headquarters wants us to keep a close eye on it."
"What force is behind the tavern?"
Su Xia has always wanted to know who gave the tavern the power of neutrality.
These days, you can’t be neutral just because you want to.
Sometimes, he even wondered if the tavern was deliberately set up by the mechanical race to collect all kinds of gossip and investigate the power of the resistance organization?
Just as Xiong Wei and others in the Oasis Camp suspected that this "masked stranger" was a resistance hero deliberately created by the mechanical race.
Yi Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe we will know later."
Looking at his serious expression, it seems that he really doesn't know.
Su Xia thought about it and realized that he didn't have much information at the moment, so he could only say, "I need some time."
"No problem, this information will remain with me."
Yi Yi did not put the information back.
He felt that Su Xia might have concerns, so he said, "You can trust the tavern completely. When you have made up your mind, you can come to me at any time to exchange information."
"Yes, I will."
"Just tell me if you need anything."
"Okay then." Su Xia was not polite, "I want a secret room that is safe enough and confidential enough, preferably one that can withstand a level 4 psychic impact."
"This is easy, follow me!"
Now Su Xia has a high priority in the tavern, so Yi Yi will naturally not neglect him.
He turned off the recorder and started going down again with Su Xia.
After changing elevators three more times, the two arrived at the bottom floor of the entire pub.
"bite--"
The elevator door opened, and what appeared before Su Xia was a long, narrow, dark corridor.
The corridor was covered with dark red carpet, with precious paintings hanging on both sides and dim wall lamps at regular intervals.
Yi Yi walked in front and introduced as he walked: "This is the safest place in the tavern branch. Only the highest authority in the local branch can enter, that is me."
"So, my coming in is another exception?"
"Um."
Yi Yi's answer made Su Xia feel much more at ease.
But he still asked: "Will there be other people coming here?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't!"
Yi Yi made a promise and gave Su Xia an ID card with temporary permissions.
At the end of the corridor is a large living room.
There was only a sofa and a coffee table in the living room, which looked very empty. There was a door on each of the left and right sides of the living room.
Yiyi opened one of the doors and said, "This room is strong enough to withstand a level 5 impact. If you need anything, you can contact me directly through the phone in the living room."
Su Xia stood by the door and looked inside.
There was nothing in the room , it was empty, the walls and the ceiling were all a deep black, it felt very depressing and a little cold.
Yi Yi asked, "Do you need anything else?"
"Not for now, thank you."
"Then I'll go up first."
Yi Yi seemed to be very confident in Su Xia's character, and directly handed over the safest area underground in the tavern to Su Xia alone.
Before he left, he said:
If Su Xia hadn't contacted him, he wouldn't have come down, ensuring Su Xia's absolute privacy here.
When Yi Yi left, Su Xia entered a separate room on the left side of the living room and closed the door.
There wasn't even a light in the room, and it was pitch black when it was turned off.
"It's time..."
Su Xia took out the red crystal and slowly pressed it against her forehead.
A moment later, his pupils turned dark red again, and a violent energy burst out from his body, continuously impacting the entire room.
This room is indeed safe, blocking all impacts and there is no sign of deformation for the time being.
Those blurry images reappeared.
It’s still that lab.
This time, because the time was long enough, the images in front of Su Xia's eyes and the sounds in her ears gradually became clearer.
He seemed to be at the door of the laboratory, and the sense of being there was very strong.
In front of him were two researchers who were communicating.
One of them said: "The monsters are getting agitated again. I'm really worried that they will break free."
Another said: "What are you afraid of? Lord Mercer is here. Monsters are just like puppies in front of him."
They mentioned the name "Mercer".
The researcher added: "But there is still danger. Just hold on a little longer. It should be over soon."
"Well, this should be my last experimental project." The researcher next to him said, "After I finish this, I will never do it again. Take the money and enjoy life..."
